Dana went on a tangient the other day about guys who train together saying they won't fight each other. Apparently he is very frustrated with some of Greg Jackson's fighters, most notably Rashad Evans.
IMO, BJ is on the downward side of his career (as far as title contention).He was clearly broken down by GSP at 170, and twice by Edgar at 155.
BUT, he is supposed to be one of the best BJJ guys in the world. IMO Aoki is by a large margin. I would like to see that match.
